i get this error :

Error
MySQL said:

#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in your configuration and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server.

@rashid...
i need IIS too....

i suggest, you start a new thread for your problem to get help faster...
and put your code in the "code tags"

If your problem hasent been solved, I am personally very satisfied with XAMPP as it includes apache, mysql, filezilla and mercury in one. I haven't had any problems with it and you just place your files in the htdocs folder. You can download it at http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html .

You can place your files in the htdocs folder, for example:

The directory you store your files:
C:/xampp/htdocs/myphp/*

You can acces it by opening a browser and use as url:
http://localhost/myphp/*

Any questions?

Ditto. XAMPP is great. Using Apache will work better than IIS as it will reflect behaviour on remote sites (usually).

I can understand that you may need IIS if you use asp, otherwise switch to Apache. Current IIS php sites can be moved to the htdocs directory under xampp. You'll need to change your vhost files though.

i just need help in configuring the apache server and mysql

i have installed WAMP Server... when i go to phpMyAdmin i get this error :

Error MySQL said:

#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

Is the above quote that latest error as I have solved server problems with many windows servers using xampp. So I can understand your troubles. When you receive that error with phpmyadmin it normally means the password has changed. Happened to me once. Turned out Wikimedia changed the password so if you've installed any php scripts, then your password may have been changed to whatever you specified under the mysql section of the cms installation. So to fix this you will need to first find the mysql password you set in the cms installation. Then when you have that password, go to the folder phpmyadmin/config.inc.php then in that file change the following variable:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'new_password_in_here';

If you haven't installed any php scripts then you may need to do a command line to reset the root password or if you installed a cms (content management system) but can't remember the password then tell me what your cms is and I'll download a copy to locate your config file with the mysql password. Usually the config file is near the base of the installation.
